Glenn Hoddle embraces life after heart attack as he enjoys 'special night' at The Eagles

Glenn Hoddle gets his kicks dancing to The Eagles as he embraces life after his near-fatal heart attack — even overshadowing Hollywood action man Tom Cruise.

The former England football manager, 64, says every moment is special since his health scare in 2018.

He grooved away with partner Lisa Curtis and could not stop smiling at the BST Hyde Park concert in London.

Cruise may be flying high with his $1billion Top Gun: Maverick box office success, but even he looked like a wingman next to the couple yesterday in a stand overlooking the the 70s rock band.

Glenn told the Mirror: "After my very near miss of losing my life, every moment is special for me these days. Nights like this are special to me.

"I’m very, very happy. I’m aware I might not have been able to see this."

Glenn added he had a very relaxed outlook on life. He said: “A little bit of work here, a little bit of golf, a little bit of time with the kids and grandchildren.”

He spoke of his joy at seeing the Eagles, saying they are the “soundtrack to my life”. He said: ”I’ve been a fan since I was 17 or 18 years old. I first saw them live in 1975.

"I remember pretending to be playing the guitar using a tennis racket in my bedroom to Hotel California and my imagination took me there, I was on stage with them.

"When the Sony Walkman came out, I would listen to them on my way to games. They’ve always been my number one so as soon as I knew they were planning I knew I had to be there."

Actor Tom had also admitted to enjoying his night getting his groove on as the iconic American rock band performed a hit-laden set.

The Hollywood star took in the concert from the comfort of a VIP box and was spotted with Glenn as well as Stereophonics lead singer Kelly Jones.

BST Hyde Park continues this weekend, with Adele playing two shows and the Rolling Stones playing their second show.
